Air Fryer French Bread Pizza
Ingredients
Pizza Sauce:
1 cup tomato paste
½ cup whole stewed tomatoes
1 tablespoon dry minced garlic
1 tablespoon dry minced onion
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
Pizza Prep:
36 slices pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella I like to chop the shredded cheese even more in a food processor. This makes for an even melt.
1 French loaf
Directions
Put the tomatoes and paste in a food processor. Add the spices and pups until mixed into a thick dense sauce that should be double the thickness of pasta sauce.
Cut the loaf in half then cut the half loaf long way in half like an open face sandwich.
Spread the pizza sauce as generously as you prefer on each half.
Sprinkle cheese over the sauce and add the pepperoni.
Place in air fryer basket and cook at 350 for 6 minutes. You are crisping the loaf crust and cooking the toppings.
To bake in the oven – cook at 450 degrees fro 12-15 minutes. Turn to broil for 1-2 minutes to get the cheese to slightly brown.
Top with Parmesan and or crushed pepper.
